Book Review: Tea Cups and Carnage by Lynn Cahoon
Media Type: EbookTitle: Tea Cups and Carnage
Series: A Tourist Trap Mystery #7
The kettle’s about to boil over . . .
The quaint coastal town of South Cove, California, is all abuzz about the opening of a new specialty shop, Tea Hee. But as Coffee, Books, and More owner Jill Gardner is about to find out, there’s nothing cozy about murder . . .
Shop owner Kathi Corbin says she came to South Cove to get away from her estranged family. But is she telling the truth? And did a sinister someone from her past follow her to South Cove? When a woman claiming to be Kathi’s sister starts making waves and a dead body is found in a local motel, Jill must step in to clear Kathi’s name—without getting herself in hot water.
Full disclosure: I haven’t read any other books in this series, which may be why I didn’t enjoy Tea Cups and Carnage very much. South Cove seems like an interesting place to live, small town life mixed with lots of tourism is a recipe for some interesting predicaments. This is supposed to be a standalone book but I felt disconnected from the story and never really invested in the characters.
FTC Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion.
